, __^ 



In our columns of the 23d Dec. last we announced 

 the very inteiesting fact that the Mangosteen had 

 at last produced its flowers in England, in the 

 garden of his Grace the Duke of Northumberland. 



We can now add that the fruit has ripened one 



having fallen from the tree last Monday, after 

 acquiring the *ize of a St. Michael's Orange. It 

 was of a deep plum colour, and upon being opened 

 was found perfect in every respect except the 

 format i of seeds, of which there was no trace. 

 Its flavour proved equal to the great reputation 

 which the Mangosteen enjoys ; we thought it 



on.ethmg like that of a melting Peach mixed 

 with Grape juice; at all events there can be no 

 doubt that it must rank even in England as the Kinf 



f the dessert. Three other specimensare nearly ripe, 

 one of which promises to be fully as large as if 

 grown in the Malay Archipelago. It must be highly
